Steelers hand kickoff return duties to LeGarrette Blount

[COLTS449]

Well he's tough to bring down, but he's no speed demon.

[RockThatBlue]

They saw we had problems with him against NE. Trying to find ways to get him the ball. But I think we will do better against him this time.

That's what some people said about Darren Sproles in our Eagles match-up. Then he preceded to make fools out of us.

True. But Sproles has owned us for years.

Sproles is a whole different animal than Blount. The Steelers o line isn't as good also. We should have beter results.

[Bluefire4]

He's had good returns in the past.. wouldn't worry about it with Anderson and Studebaker on special teams.

[pgt_rob]

Our line is so much better and stronger with Jackson, Kerr, Jones if back, and RJF playing tons better. They are trying to get creative by bruising us like NE did.

I will be extremely happy to see us put some hats on Blount!  I want pay back for that playoff game.   Speaking of Sproles I wouldn't be surprised to see the Steelers try to mimick the Eagles with screen plays using Dri Archer.  I've been a bit nervous about this even before we got to the Steelers matchup.  I hope Jeff Demps gave us some good looks on the practice squad this week.

And that force lurking back there. The one they call "Boomstick." Bring it Blount!

My thoughts exactly. This is a really stupid move by Mike Tomlin's staff. Also, having Big Ben hand you the ball as a workhorse back is not same thing as catching the pigskin off Pat Mcafee's foot. 

 

Clearly, the Steelers are desperate as opposed to being smart. Can you say additional fumble recoveries? Works for me man. Ha! Ha! 

[Indyboy757]

This sounds like music to my ears. If the Steelers are basing anything off last years ST its a plus for us because our Special teams unit is a completely different unit then last year. To me thats a good plan to have ST effect them in a negative way. GO COLTS!!!

[Dustin]

Sime of you obviously didn't watch Blount return kicks for the Pats last year.

[Indyboy757]

This is not last year Dustin enter in 2014.. Have you seen what our STs have done this year

[Indyboy757]

Sounds like ur making the same mistake as the Steelers..

[jusbadd2]

Our special teams can handle this, Boomstick said they are going to be the best ever .I BELIEVE

[sweetsurrender]

Sime of you obviously didn't watch Blount return kicks for the Pats last year.

Yeah, he was pretty good. But his best game came in the rain vs the Bills. I really don't think we will have much of an issue handling him. He is tough to bring down but slow.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Sime of you obviously didn't watch Blount return kicks for the Pats last year.

But he's slow.

[sreylas937]

well with the name of Blount, maybe they think he can roll!

Blount has average 28 yards per return in his career.  That doesn't sound like desperation.
